Emilie Kahn

About

Emilie Kahn is a Montreal-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose ethereal soundscapes and hauntingly intimate vocals have carved a niche in the indie-folk and art-pop realms. Known for her mastery of the autoharp and her ability to weave intricate, dreamlike narratives, Kahn’s music feels like a whispered secret, both fragile and profound. Her sound draws from a rich tapestry of influences, blending the baroque pop of Joanna Newsom with the experimental textures of Björk, creating a sonic world that is uniquely her own. Kahn first gained attention with her 2015 debut EP *10,000*, a collection of songs that showcased her poetic lyricism and unconventional instrumentation. Her 2018 debut album *Outro* solidified her reputation as a boundary-pushing artist, earning critical acclaim for its lush arrangements and emotional depth. Breakthrough moments include performances at major festivals like Osheaga and collaborations with artists such as Patrick Watson, further cementing her place in the Canadian music scene. Culturally, Kahn’s work resonates for its exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the human condition. Her artistic identity is defined by a fearless embrace of vulnerability, both in her lyrics and her experimental approach to sound. Recent years have seen her expand her creative horizons, scoring films and exploring new sonic territories. Currently, Kahn is working on her highly anticipated sophomore album, promising a deeper dive into her signature blend of introspection and innovation.
